Hip nerve block may ease pain during heart valve procedure
NCT ID NCT05904912
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a special ultrasound-guided nerve block (PENG block) can reduce pain and the need for extra painkillers in 40 adults undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for aortic stenosis. The block targets nerves around the hip to provide pain relief. Researchers measured fentanyl use during the procedure and pain scores afterward.
